Two winners will share the second-largest jackpot in U.S. history after the Mega Millions draw on Tuesday.
One winner bought a ticket at Jennifer’s Gift Shop in San Jose, California, the other at Gateway Newsstand in Atlanta. They will soon split a jackpot that could top $648 million according to a California Lottery spokesperson.
CBS News reports that the winners have beaten the 1 in 259 million odds of drawing a winning ticket, which Mega Millions recently changed from 1 in 176 million in order to create bigger jackpots. The current jackpot swelled to its enormous size after 22 consecutive draws without a winner.
The winning numbers were 8, 14, 17, 20, 39; Mega Ball: 7.
